Hollow Knight: Hallownest

The blood was smeared on Mo Rong's mask, making it difficult for him to see what was in front of him. The soul crystal beam that was about to condense at his fingertips scattered white light.

Mo Rong stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood stains that blocked his vision, and was just as stunned as Lu Ryan, who was standing not far behind him.

Soul Master, dead?

Looking at the long-formed remains of severed limbs on the ground, he recalled the scholar not long ago who chose to self-destruct in order to protect the Soul Master and ended up like this.

"Be bold!"

It was that force again, in the same place again, as if a waterfall rushing down hit Mo Rong's back, catching him off guard and pressing him to the ground.

Lurian didn't understand what method Mo Rong used to arouse the energy in Soumas' body. He didn't even notice it. The desperate look Somas looked at him just now was still vivid in his mind.

"Lord Watcher, what do you mean?"

The pain made Mo Rong wake up, and then he realized that Lu Ruien had arrived behind him at some point, and the terrifying aura emanating from his body made him breathless for a while.

"You broke into the Soul Sanctuary and assassinated the Soul Master. What do you mean by asking me?!"

Lurian's anger at this time was not entirely due to Somas' death. To be honest, he even felt a little relieved.

Yes, Soumas' behavior does deserve punishment, but he believes that crime does not lead to death. Although he is arrogant and stubborn and regards the lives of ordinary insects as nothing, this cannot deny his contribution to the soul. This is why the King General The reason for his promotion to the leader of the Soul Sanctuary.

Now that Soumas died under his eyes, he failed to stop him. His anger came more from the powerlessness slowly arising in his heart.

"Lord Watcher, if you had been behind me just now, you would have definitely seen that the Soul Master was dead before my spell was cast..."

"Shut up! I saw you point your finger to his eyebrows with my own eyes. How could I know what kind of unknown secret technique you used?!"

"As a first-time champion, how dare you do something you don't deserve?!"

Mo Rong was silent for a moment. He knew that his explanation was too pale. Although it was true, it was difficult to produce substantive evidence.

He finally understood the meaning of Soul Master's actions and words before his death.

"No, you are."

The soul master is just like the scholar who chose to self-destruct, but the soul master is the soul master. Even if he risks his life, he will not be able to benefit himself. They say that when a person is about to die, his words are good, but the evil person is. Wicked people fail to understand their own mistakes until they die. Instead, they attribute everything to the person who corrected their mistakes.

"As you said, how can I dare to be a one-time champion?"

"But I haven't done anything, so how can I bear the unwarranted charge?!"

Morong roared in a low voice, without any hesitation, and his eyes were so firm that Lu Ruien didn't dare to look directly at him.

"No matter how much you talk like a lotus flower, it is now a foregone conclusion. Even if Soul Master's final death was not caused by you, you still have an indelible crime on your body. Can you admit this?!"

"I don't believe you don't know about the inhumane experiments conducted by the Soul Masters and their acts of kidnapping. Since you are unwilling to take action, what's the harm in me taking action on your behalf?!"

"Okay! Since you have admitted your behavior, do you have any objection to my taking you into custody for trial?!"

Soumas's death was a foregone conclusion. As Lurian said, even if it was not caused by him, he was still responsible, but he did not want to dwell on it at this time.

In this action, he had no intention of ending well.

"I just ask the Lord Watcher to let my friends go. They are just victims of this accident, and they are not the ones to blame."

Lurian stopped talking, held Mo Rong in one hand and flew away, leaving the hunter and Wu Si in the room with heavy expressions.

After saying goodbye, they knew that they would probably never see Mo Rong again.

Wusi sat weakly on the ground, trembling lips and murmuring: "It's all my fault...It's all my fault..."

The hunter's expression did not show any change. He grabbed Wusi with one hand and ran towards the outside of the Soul Sanctuary.

Many things happened on this day.

......

"Commander Nuo, your eyes..."

After the abyss crisis alarm was lifted, Ida also returned to the palace's martial arts training ground. Originally, he wanted to ask his master Delia what happened, but he was told that the five knights were all recovering from injuries, and even he could not disturb.

He had no choice but to go back to the martial arts training ground and wait, and while he was boringly practicing bone nail skills, he caught a glimpse of a slightly familiar figure from the corner of his eye. When he walked up to that person, Ida realized that it was... Commander Nuo, who has not been heard from since the confrontation between the two.

But at this time, she had long lost the tranquility and calmness she had when they met before. Ida felt that it might be related to her empty eyes.

"Child...my child...my precious child..."

Noisi had obviously lost his eyes, but at this moment he seemed to see something. He kept waving to one place and murmuring. Ida followed her 'eyes' and saw that except for the dummy in the martial arts field, there were no other But can't see anything.

"Commander Nuo, Commander Nuo?"

Nois didn't seem to hear Ida's words at all, and was still swinging her arms to herself. Ida kept looking in the direction of her waving, but still couldn't see anything, and she suddenly felt all over. Goosebumps.

Ida had experienced Noice's methods during the last fight. The mystery made him confused. Now it is even more like this. Ida has reason to doubt whether there is really something in this martial arts training ground. It was dirty, but he couldn't see it.

"Commander Nuo!"

Ida really couldn't bear to watch Nois's weird behavior, and her voice suddenly became louder, thus pulling Nois back from being immersed in his own world.

"you are?"

"Oh! I remembered, you are the young man I met before the mission."

"Well, Commander Nuo, what's wrong with your eyes? Why do you look like this?"

"It's just an accident, don't worry."

Nois did not tell Ida the reason, and she was not prepared to tell Ida the reason. Even the former queen still lied to her.

She knew very well how her eyes became like this, because the culprit was right next to her.

Not Ida, but her hands hanging on the ground.

Perhaps because of guilt, perhaps because she no longer dared to look directly at the souls wandering in the abyss, she dug out her eyes with her own hands, just to feel better and comfort her 'children'.

Ida still wanted to ask more questions, but a retainer not far away approached and said loudly to Nois beside him: "Commander Nois, the king has agreed to your request."

"You can go to the green shelter someday."

Noisi was half kneeling on the ground, with a lot of joy hidden in his words.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
